If you want to know a little about me, just come to my home in the fall. π
Youβll find pumpkins, antiques, a cup of coffee, and probably me moving something around until it feels just right. Then moving it one more time. π I love old wood, warm colors, and things with a story behind them. My dadβs flannels mean more to me than anything new I could buy.
Iβm a wife, a mom, and the owner of Maple Farms Senior Living. Our family farm is also a home where I care for others, and a lot of my days revolve around making sure everyone has what they need. Itβs a life I care deeply about, but some days Iβm pulled in so many directions that I barely sit down.
Maybe thatβs part of why I love fall so much. Even when life is busy, that first cool morning or the leaves changing makes me stop for a minute. I want to cook something good, make the house cozy, and have my family close.
I donβt decorate because I need everything to look perfect. I do it because I love the feeling of walking into a home thatβs warm and lived in. A place with memories tucked into the corners, where people can be comfortable and feel welcome.
The older I get, the more I appreciate those little things. Coffee before the day gets going. An old piece that reminds me of someone I love. Time with my kids. The beauty right outside my door.
So yes, I get a little obsessed with fall. But it brings together so much of who I amβmy love for my family, this farm, old memories, and making a home.
And Iβll probably always have room for one more pumpkin. π§‘
